Finishing Polish???
Is there a difference between finisihing polish and regular polish? For example, Optimum Polish/AIO/SSR1 are considered regular polish or finishing polish?
-
Optimum is a fairly strong polish but can finish down like a finishing polish. Optimum Compound is an excellent compound and also finishes down like a polish. SS1 one has fine cutt ability and good finishing, AIO is a just a chemical cleaner, won't do much for finishing (use after polishing).

SSR 1.0 is really the only finishing polish above. AIO is a chemical paint cleaner only, and Optimum is truly a reg polish but does break down well. Other finishing polishes include XMT 1 and Menzerna FP.

you can do either, depending on pad choice. If you used an orange or yellow LC pad you might see some micromarring. You can then use either with a finishing pad to repair and jewel the surface. Also when using Optimum with a light pad for a car in good/better condition, you might be able to just move to the sealant.

I will just stick to buying the Pinnacle XMT 1 & 3. I can use the XML 1 for me new cars, and XML 3 for older cars. It looks like Optimum Polish is stronger that other polishes. Does Pinnacle XMT get dusty similiar to PB SSR series?

XMT dusts less. If it starts to dust, stop and either clean the pad or spray with h20 or QD or XMT pad conditioner.

Menzerna polishes for me along with OP both will finish down LSP almost every time..
